Yogic Reflections -- The Quiet Path Of Vairāgya

Vairagya,

The yogic principle of dispassion,

Is not about rejecting the world,

But engaging with it freely,

Without attachment,

Without fear,

Without longing.

This poem explores the essence of true detachment,

Illustrating how peace is found not in holding on,

But in letting go.

Its verses invites us to embrace life fully while remaining anchored in inner stillness,

Untouched by the highs and lows of existence.

The Quiet Path of Vairagya The world calls out with siren songs,

A dance of right,

A pull of wrongs.

It shines so bright,

Yet dims so fast.

What once seemed firm will never last.

The hands that grasp,

The hearts that yearn,

Are bound to lose,

Are bound to burn.

For all we chase,

For all we claim,

Will slip away like fleeting flame.

Yet peace is not in what we hold,

Not found in treasures,

Gems,

Or gold.

It lives within the heart so still that bends to neither pain nor trill.

To love and serve,

Yet not possess.

To walk the path,

Yet not obsess.

To act with strength,

To stand so free,

Unshaken by life's storming sea.

No joy too great,

No loss too deep,

No restless nights,

No tears to keep.

For all things come and all things go,

Like passing tides,

Like drifting snow.

Not void of love,

But freed from chains.

Not lost in joys,

Nor drowned in pains.

To see,

To smile,

To give,

To be.

Yet hold no bonds,

Yet walk so free.

This is the way,

The path so true.

The stillness bright,

The boundless view.

To live,

To serve,

To rise,

To shine,

Yet know the soul is not confined.

Let go,

Release,

Be light as air.

Find peace beyond both hope and care.

For what is yours and what is mine,

The self dissolves in love divine.

Namaste.
